Bro or sister? Don't like that le, I know you love and stay in CCR. Noticed u have "condemned" many locations in RCR & OCR.

I am very "seow" abt cactus/cacti. Have quite several books on this. The suculent plant has the morphologies features of standard plant, yet its root, stems or leaves are swollen. hat is why it can store a great qty of water and withstand drought. In a broad sense, cacti belong to succulent plants. In a narrower sense, however, cacti are excluded. Cacti is distinctive for the presence of areoles. Some of other succulents, eg Euphor-biaceae, Didiereaceae, Apocynaceae, Asclepiadaceae, Agavaceae, may bear thorns/spines, but the thorns/spines are part of the epidermis and do not grow out of areoles. According to WHO??? Those cacti with thorns/spines are "good cures" for "arrows", "blade", Shas, spirits and snakes. I grew them for horticultural purpose, very enjoy.

This is the Mother i law's chair, cannot be sitted. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/94/milchair.jpg/ picture #128. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/835/largenumberofbarrelcact.jpg/ I used to have a MIL's chair with diameter of 14 inch, at balcony's planter for strong sunlight. Gave to relatives with some miniture fruit trees when move to HDB where has only partial morning sun.

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/685/miltongue.jpg/ MIL's tongue is also called snake plant. Is one of the "succulent plants"= juicy plant . Scientific chinese name called: 金边虎尾兰. Propagation by offshoot, semi full sunlight (20-30% shading), keep soil moist, never dry out but avoid soaking. High temperature (25-35 deg C), soil with good water retention. The "juice" is poison, caused iritation to skin....this plant has ordinary horticultural value, therefore no recommended to put in house. The "cure" to plants which you don't like: a day a bit of soap water to soil. Mother-in-law's chair is preferred for fs. It is a plant, anyone knows what it is? Wife used to ask my 2 kids while young, to "sit" on it as punishment.

Reality is always "一种米养百种人". Many patterns. Therefore law is set recognising "no extension". Want to go against the law? Can ! Standby to pay "school fee" to learn "lessons". Teochew says "吃饱没事做，肉痒".

Just to share some pictures the effect of tilting of earth axis, to country like UK (Dale Fort)(51º28′N latitude). Son was at UK's Dale Fort, took these picture: Picture 1: 31/5/11, 4.26am - sun started to rise http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/856/31511426am.jpg/ Picture 2: 31/5/11, 9pm - sky still bright http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/861/315119pm.jpg/ Picture 3: 6/6/11, 10.17am at London's greenwich, London http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/51/greenwich.jpg/ He also managed to view the 北斗七星 at night, too bad camera not good enough to capture the 7 star-group. I asked him to take these pictures before he set off.

I'm aware Luopan not accurate cos of shifting of magnetic north + factors in measuring environments, steel, iron, mineral, stray magnetic field etc. Gyrometer very expensive leh. How do you measure house's direction vs true north? Based on map? There are 4 directions as u mentioned, so door facing within the 15 deg of the 4 mentioned directions is considered best? Any "logic" to explain?

Are you bro "niu"? Finally someone highlighted the "true north" or "magnetic north" in fs.

When human body's 37 deg C starts loosing heat to ambience, it is considered "cold". Heat loss amount of body to ambience is directly proportionally to the amount of "breeze" pass cross over the skin. Heat loss rate associates with ambient humidity or relative humidity. The higher the RH, the lesser the rate. RH associates with ambient temperature. The higher the temperature, the higher the RH. In KSA, RH can reach 95%. Higher the RH make human body feels uncomfortable/stuffy/sticky skin.....So, basically LKY is right the +/- 20 deg(north & south) away from equator is not so suitable for human beings to stay. Likewise the +/- 20 deg from nort & south poles. Now in June-July, Northern hemisphere is subjected to maximum radiated heat from the sun, thought in these months, earth is furthest away from it. Now North pole is 24 hr day. Generally, the whole northern hemisphere is hotter than the counter part of southerm hemisphere. Hot air rise and become less dense, pressure difference created such that souther air blow toward the northern part. The same applies to residential premises. Wise to choose premises which are not expose directly to evening sun. NESW air flow characteristic during the whole year should be taken into consideration while selecting premises' door/windoor opening, height of premises and its surrounding. These "fs techniques" apply across the board, not to a particular "bazi". I've not, so far, read from paper or internet on writeups on such by local fsms.

Assuming sole bread winners A,B &C, each own a house with individual "wealth spot" identified by fsms and subsequently lighting at the wealth spots being put up. Outcomes: A becomes bankrupt, B as normal, C earns big money. What're the implications? Same FS "technique" not guaranteed work on different individuals? Or "somethings" else dictate the intended intention? If so, why don't put that "somethings" to make it work? Do you think "wealth" work in this way? Geomancers use & repeat the same old "techniques" on different customers. Hulu,pixus, coins, sword, bagua.....If they work, they (fs items) should have the same effects on all individuals. Mankind lives in a complex and volatile environmental settings, everything in life affecting each others of different extend. Much like "rojak", each ingredient has taste of others' ingredients'. Instead of "static display" of items, mindset, actions, reactions/response to changes..... are more important to make "intended dream" come true.

Toilet is big issue in Singapore. Don't believe? Read following links. http://www.toilet.org.sg/resources.html http://www.toilet.org.sg/articles/Advertisements.pdf http://www.nea.gov.sg/cms/ehd/public_toilet_guide.pdf

Reminded me of statistical hypothesis test which is sort of a method of making decision using data, whether from a controlled experiment or an observational study (not controlled, hearsay). FS can be "tested", the results should always be held constant (applicable to everybody), in otherwords, it is unlikely to have occurred by chance alone. Example: - Lighting at "wealth spot". Only "owner" of the house has wealth spot, those unmarried staying under the same roof have no "wealth spots"? If husband & wife also bread winners for the same house, then how huh? Like that how to do the "testing", cos the fundamentals are ambiguous, results sure to be ambiguous too.

Son just commented: Screw up neighbour with screw up citizens. Then everybody busy for them.

Can ask Khaw Boon Wan via: http://mndsingapore.wordpress.com/ http://www.facebook.com/khawboonwan Likely he will tell you MND adopts "hypothesis testing" approach.

MND not so stupid. MOP rule applies to both Singaporeans & PR who bought subsidised or non-subsidised HDB flats. If flat owner bought before 30 Aug 2010, he can buy pty, if bought after 30 Aug 2010, has to wait till MOP is up.

See want to have "super" at JB or not, Geylang, Joo Chiat cannot meh? Must go from east to north?

Gentle reminder: A perfect lunar eclipse can be viewed from Singapore on June 16 2011 (Thursday morning) for 3.39 hours. The spectacle will begin at 1:22am, reach full stage at 2:22am and end at about 4am. Moon now (7.49pm, 15/6/2011) at East, will be at West on 26/6/2011, 4am. 16/6/2011 is lunar 初十五 = Full moon.

If Khaw were to actualises this rule, meaning more 1st timer couples will "chiong" for BTO, giving up EC, DBSS, HDB/pty resale and pty new. This causes grapevine chain effects, no play play. BTO is already sort of short-supplied in present time (early 2013 will be a new chapter). Is a matter of time this salary ceiling rule will be revised and could be completely discarded. True that HDB resale is on high side now, however, for own stay, why worry? Keep this, save money and buy pty for investment/part time stay lah.

Aidygirl, look like u've paid $5k and now awaiting for 1st apt for the resale unit. HDB is correct, you are allowed to make "U-turn" now. After 1st apt, no "U-turn" is allowed even if seller passes away. Now "wish" to make U-turn and "wish" can get the $40K grant if income ceiling rule change. Purchasing a big ticket item like property is no play play you know. Unlike driving car, can anyhow make legal & illegal u-turns as long as not get caught. After viewing 30+ house, the mind still "like that".... Think this way: if grant approved and one day you sell the house, u need to return this grant. If now you void the otp, can you est the costs?, it depends very much on the seller's appetise. You are at losing end for sure.

Your question reminded me of my old camera dry box which used electric bulb. Now I have one with electic heater with sensor, digital display and control knobs. Short story expands "long". In the beginning, man stayed near water source and slept on tree top to avoid harmful beings' attack, but still subjected to rain, wind sun... As time go by, they chose "caves" to avoid rain, wind, sun and animals attacks, but still faced humidity, air ventilation, darkness problems.... So they built walls and roof, with windows and doors, dig well/reservoir for water, started plantation kept birds/animals for steady sources of food supply, candle was invented.... Now, we have almost everything, aircon to adjust air temperature, reservoir/newater/desalination plant to settle water issue, electric light to light up the space, "fire" to cook food, windows to cater for airflow. Heat/cold water, refrigerator to keep food......Almost everything at figures' tips. However, the "wants" of mankinds can never be contented, ppls now wants - Nice views - Privacy - "Good" location with ample amenities All these "wants" need $$$, so Clever "inventors" created theories of "wang", "study", "health", "sick", "heng/sway" etc etc locations, within residential premises.......Inventors say "tiolets" are "sway" cos generate what "negative energy" which i failed to comprehen. However, i do understand that we do "washing" in the tiolet, so the humidity tends to be higher than other parts of the house. The similar apply to the kitchen that tends to be warmer/hotter (not so in nowadays' kitchen/stove structure).... All these (environmental settings), actually in scientific term is called "microclimate" - a branch of science which studies wind flows, heat exchanges, humidity fluctuation within a fixed, confined space( eg, home, office, warehouse, cinema, etc) Actually the answer to your question already provided in para 1. Your fsm, I guess, is the "old fashion" type - or he has not catch up with technology advance that nowadays' lamps generate very little heat, unless those with filament, like flood lights (those you see in stadium, on board the big ship). The purpose is to evaporate the damp air, so to reduce the humidity. For long term, high humidity no good to human's lung, bone, esp the joints, too low the humidity makes the skin dry. Anyway airflow is important to reduce the humidity, not the heat alone. Actually, to reduce humidity need calculation with data like how much water, space's volume, light source's power, air exchange rate, sensor detection on/off...., not just "any light" 24/7, 7pm-7am on = indifference to toy.

Ah Hia, you are qualified to be a PI liao. Another PI would-be is joining you here. http://sg.search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=Asfi1OHqJnBsEMPr0WKaZsOCG7J_;_ylc=X1MDMjE0MjM3ODg4MgRfcgMyBGZyA3lmcC10LTcxMgRuX2dwcwMwBG9yaWdpbgNzZy55YWhvby5jb20EcXVlcnkDR2xhZHlzIENodW5nBHNhbwMw?vc=&p=Gladys+Chung&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8&fr=yfp-t-712 This Gen Y seems to be a young journalist or some sort, got 63,000 search results. Nowadays, Gen Y dares to dream, write & speak without realising the cruelty of reality, always like to enjoy life first, want everything sweet sweet at others' expenses. Don't know what is called commitment, responsibility......sorry, i'm getting long winded. Singapore very BIG meh? Need to spend a lot on transportation? "Less tiong" during friday nightm sat & sun will sure save them a lot of tpt $. Want to stay near to parents? Or stay away from parents? Gen Y see parents as "eye sores", long-winded. Reality shows that they prefer to have pets than having parents, tio bo? Matured estate = full of amenities = convienient. Want cheap yet convienient, got, Q & wait long long lor. Want to migrate bec of "housing problem", so serious meh?, or just say say? Come to difficult time, she is the first one to run away, for sure. Scrap MOP? So she can sell & buy, sublet. Ever think she can do that everybody also can do that then what the mkt will become, no brain yet write so much, wasting readers' precise time! If she is really the journalist for magazines or whatever papers, she is planting the "poisons" into the youngs' minds. Only 2 words for her: "Get out"

Good advise. To be frank, I would have walked away immediately without seeing interior if seeing main entrance's surrounding is like that. A cramp, "crook", confined space to main entrance is a big NO NO. Not to mention the "smell" and "sightseeing" of passerbys EVERYDAY. + Alway have some "left over" on corridor, whether fluid or solid, big or small. Those who live in the unit would be "anger to death" in no time.

Look like you don't get what I'm try to say. I put it(them) plain, easy to understand: 1. I'm aware of these different schools of taughts, whether xuan kong, purple-white stars, bazhai, etc etc, take ones' DOB as "input". XuanKong take builings' dob as "input" + 20yrs cycles + stars and work with 9-grid chart. Based on these "inputs", "things" work out & expands... Quite similar to Bazi, DOB as "input", "mix" and "expand" with wuxing, 10 heavenly stems & 12 earthly branches and so many possible combinations and almost no end. 2. The fundamental pitfall of these systems are that they are designed for "individual", not for "family" as a whole. Meaning it is meant for "one person one house". In reality it is not like that so geomancers have to say, it is for "bread-winner only", no kids, no parents, no maid...., like that correct, logical meh? 3. Time is not so crucial? 天时，地利，人和。An event to happen, always involve these 3 elements, now you say time is not so crucial. Diection is only part of 地利. 4. Back to the map in the link in previous post, about timing. Take China for example, geographically it covers GMT+5 to GMT+9, legally speaking, from E to W, supposed to be 4 hours difference, BUT in political reality, CHINA is made a ONE TIME ZONE! Whoever born, whether at E or W having the same time! Australi is a 3 hour-time zone, swee, it follows the rule. Now you understand why I say the bazi's "time pillar" already "bochun" in certain countries due to political reasons?

1. To me, fs recognises no one's date of birth or year of birth(八宅), not to mention buildings' date of birth. It treats all human beings the same as like "time" is given to everyone 24 hours day, as long as the human beings are living on earth. It simply follows the principles of "水来土淹，兵来将挡". 2. One must recognise the fact that a residential unit accomodate a few human beings(majority), and not just one. Perhaps this applies well to the dead's house. These few ppls born in different years, months and dates. So, if according to 八宅's fundamental, I think a house best built with 8 doors, each facing different directions so to accomodate these ppls! Like 老巴刹 and CK Tang building? 3. To follow GMT, UTO, UT1, UT1R, UT2R, UTC, Internatin atomic time?. Imagine the Earth is sliced into 12 equal arcs, each arc from north pole to south pole and each arc consists of 30 degree longitude (2 hours). Theoretically is like that, geograpically and practically countries don't practise this! Why? Read slowly, look at the map (blue & red lines)carefully: Sinagpore is at 1deg22min N, 103deg45min E. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Time The blind leads a blind will eventually fall into.....hope this is the my last post on this.

If tiolets are so bad as to fs, what abt the uncles & anuties sitting next to public tiolets' entrances to collect money? If 9-grids can be drawn and stars assigned to here & there for a residential house, then, logically any space (a room, a public garden, a warehouse, a shopping mall etc, etc) can do the same. Questions come: - Who are the owners of these space? - Date of birth of building???Some building take 10, 50 years to complete, how to determine the DOB? - Build half way stop for 10 yr, continue till completion, how?. - Go "wang" area to these places?. I like to let my imgination run "wild". Personally found 八宅 & 玄空 's fundaments got problems. Same for the "month pillar (esp leap month) & time pillar (2-hr longitude, 30 degree) over the countries for "Bazi" & "紫微斗数“.
